Because you now did it to yourself.

    It’s almost as if, and I know this is wild to americans, neither choice would have fixed that you’re a country in north america, either. Maybe some things should not be used as a decisionmaker between these two candidates.

    What I will say is that I can very much understand the urge to then not go vote (seems the democrates are missing ~20 mil votes that did not go to the republicans), and it takes actual knowledge of the voting system to know that this is not a useful thing to do in a first-past-the-post system, though it can be in other types. Hence the need to restrain oneself and still vote, just for the least bad option if no good one is available.

        I think you misunderstood my first sentence if you think that was my point. Although that might have been on me, English is not my primary language. I meant it say it as an allusion to the fact that sometimes, neither of 3 options (vote red, vote blue, vote not) can change a specific thing. Even though you would like it to change. Sometimes things are like that.
